Takes a little more technical know-how, but you could take an old laptop, put Linux on it, and make a home document server. A document server is basically what OneDrive, Google Drive, etc are, just with the benefit that it's private and free besides the cost of utilities.

Basic OneDrive is free and easy and requires 0 technical knowledge nor a dedicated computer to host it. And it always works and never needs repairs
